What Are Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries?

Pedestrian accidents often result in a wide range of injuries, from minor to life-threatening. Understanding the types of injuries that can occur helps emphasize the seriousness of these incidents and the need for proper medical care and legal support.

Pedestrian accident injuries can include:

  • Broken bones
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Organ damage
  • Lacerations
  • And more

In severe cases, pedestrians may suffer life-altering injuries or even death. Our team at JRG Attorneys At Law recognizes the profound impact these accidents have on victims and families and can guide you through wrongful death claims with compassion.

What Compensation Can I Expect from a Pedestrian Accident Claim?

If you’ve been injured as a pedestrian, you may be entitled to various types of compensation to help cover your losses. 

Pedestrian accident victims may be eligible for various compensatory forms, including:

  • Medical costs
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage

Compensation amounts depend on factors such as injury severity and life impact. At JRG Attorneys At Law, we focus on maximizing your compensation by thoroughly assessing all damages and building a strong case for your claims. Our guidance helps you understand potential outcomes and feel empowered throughout the process.

What If I'm Partially At-Fault for My Pedestrian Accident?

California’s pure comparative negligence system means you can still recover compensation even if you share some fault in the accident. Your award, however, will be reduced in proportion to your degree of responsibility. For example, if a pedestrian is found to be 20% at fault for the accident, their compensation would be reduced by 20%

Pedestrians can be partially liable for the following:

  • Ignoring “Don't Walk” signs
  • Walking while being distracted by a phone
  • Walking outside of a marked crosswalk

Our pedestrian accident attorney in Monterey County can thoroughly investigate your case to determine fault and maximize your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Fault Determined in a Pedestrian Accident?

Determining fault in a pedestrian accident typically involves evaluating evidence such as police reports, witness accounts, and traffic camera footage. Our legal team conducts a thorough investigation to establish fault and strengthen your case. Even if you believe you were partly at fault, California's comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages based on your degree of liability.

How Long Does It Take to Resolve a Pedestrian Accident Case?

The time needed to resolve a pedestrian accident case varies based on complexity, settlement willingness of involved parties, damages, and more. Sometimes cases can settle outside of court, often within months. However, trials can extend the timeframe. At JRG Attorneys At Law, we are committed to accelerating the process while examining all factors thoroughly. We keep you informed, explain potential delays, and focus on achieving favorable outcomes promptly.

What Steps Should I Take Immediately Following a Pedestrian Accident?

Post-accident, prioritize safety by seeking immediate medical attention. Report the incident to local authorities for official documentation. Gather witness contact information, driver contact and insurance information, and scene photos if possible. Avoid discussing fault. Finally, contact JRG Attorneys At Law for legal guidance to comprehend your rights and the next steps.
